Title	Bitumen naphtha is a kind of liquid
Translation English Translated by gbernsdorff	Target language: English Bitumen naphtha is a kind of liquid: it flows into the sea from the mountains of Sicily and floats on top of the waves. Seamen collect it with sponges and, after squeezing them out, they store it in pots for people to use it in various ways.
Remarks about the translation	recundunt doesn't make sense, must be a typo. recondunt means they store/they stow away
